Chapter Fifty-Six: The Crypt and the Pool
I got up from the ground in a bit of a mess, my head buzzing and I couldn't stop being dizzy. Looking from afar, I saw the red flames outside the forest soaring into the sky, and there were scattered fragments of flames and scattered broken branches and leaves everywhere, mixed with screams.
In the firelight, the more than 100 disciples of the Immortal Hall were almost dead, they were shocked to death by the voice, and only two disciples were still standing unsteadily in the firelight, but their faces were dazed. The Qingcheng faction also suffered a lot of losses, but because of Ban Huailing's luck in front of them, they still had eight or nine disciples left. It's just that his martial arts are as strong as Ban Huailing's figures, and his face is also full of blood at this time.
When I think of the scene just now, I still have palpitations. I thought that the disciple of the Immortal Hall took out the signal bamboo tube and released fireworks just to deter Ban Huailing, so that He Erniang and the man surnamed Lu could take the opportunity to escape, who would have thought that the red light cluster emitted by the signal bamboo tube would be so powerful when it burst open?
I was dizzy in my head, and in my ears, I suddenly heard Ban Huailing shouting: "He Qinghua, where are you going to escape!"
His voice was muffled, like a low roar. I turned my head to look, but I didn't see the figures of He Erniang and the man surnamed Lu, and in the rising fire outside the forest, I saw Ban Huailing leading the only eight or nine remaining Qingcheng sect disciples to run along the foot of the southern mountain.
The group of them were in tatters, staggering a little as they went, not as fast as before, but still conscious. When passing by the two Immortal Hall disciples, there was a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect with a long sword and slashed towards the necks of the two Immortal Hall disciples. The two of them had been stunned, and they still couldn't figure out their direction, where could they react? The sword light flashed, and there were two "poof" sounds, and the two heads had rolled to the ground, and blood splattered out.
Can't stay here any longer.
Seeing that a group of them were far away, I didn't plan to stay. This forest is still in the territory of the Miro tribe, causing such a big movement, I don't know if it will attract the patrol tribe of the Miro tribe.
The road at the foot of the mountain is impassable. I stroked my head, turned and walked cautiously deeper into the woods. Even if the map of the Miro tribe is not accurate, it will not be too incorrect, and you can reach the culvert slope by going south along the mountain range, and you can reach it by walking through the forest, but you have walked a little more.
Away from the foot of the mountain, the forest began to dim again.
The rain was still falling, and it was even more urgent than before, and the bean-sized rain hit the leaves, dripping and dripping.
There is a lot of fallen leaves in this wood, and there is a thick layer on the ground, and it is the rainy season now, and many places have become shallows, and you can no longer reach your ankles when you step on them.
Ban Huailing was also poisoned.
It occurred to me that I had an idea. Although I didn't see any changes in his body just now, what came out of his last breath was exactly the same as the sound of Ma Qianli turning into a sky bat.
I don't know how many people have been harmed by this poisonous turmoil in the Western Regions, including people from the Immortal Hall and people from the Seven Great Sects. It's just that as far as the Seven Great Sects are concerned, I'm afraid they would prefer to target the Immortal Hall like this.
The rain is still cool, and when I walk in the forest, I only feel a chill to my bones.
The further you go, the more sparse the woods become. After walking about two miles, I spotted a huge tree and sat down at its root.
Affected by that sound, my brain is still a little heavy, and after walking this way, even my stomach is churning a little, and I can't help but want to vomit. If I had been closer just now, I probably wouldn't have been able to walk this far.
Unwrapping the hides behind me, I took the map out. The outer part of the animal skin package is covered with a layer of fur, and even though it is wet on the outside, the inside of the package is still dry.
From the blue light of lightning leaking from the cracks in the branches, I could clearly see on the map that the woods in this area had become sparse, and it seemed that I had stepped out of the territory of the Miro. At my current location, if I were at the foot of the mountain, I would have walked to the southernmost part of the range, not far from the culvert slope. It's just that now I'm in the woods, and I can't figure out the direction for a while, and if I want to go to the culvert slope, I have to go back to the road at the foot of the mountain.
As he was watching, he suddenly heard a slight breathing sound overhead. I was startled, and I was about to look up, but before I could lift my head, a strong wind had rushed down from the top of my head.
It's been plotted here. I was still holding the animal skin map in my hand, and my mind was still dizzy, but now I couldn't care about anything else, and when I released the map, my right hand was already tapping the ground. The wind was so strong that I didn't have time to look at it, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hide from it if I raised my head.
The strength of my right arm was unusually great, and with the help of a single beat, I flipped on the ground, and as soon as I propped up the ground, the man jumped up and jumped away from the tree.
In my ears, I heard a "bang" sound, and a large knife was cutting at the root of the tree where I was sitting earlier, but I saw sawdust flying, and the root of the tree had been broken in half. If I had taken a slow step, the knife would have cut my head open.
Are you the patrolmen of the Miro?
Despite my surprise, my right hand reached behind my back, and I pulled out the Shadow Chasing Sword, and the Shadow Chasing Sword was already horizontal in front of my chest. As soon as I turned around, I saw a black shadow flashing on a huge tree, and a man in a purple robe jumped down from the tree after the big sword. It was none other than the man surnamed Lu from the Immortal Hall.
It's him?
I couldn't help but be stunned. With the constant flashes of electricity in the sky, I could clearly see his appearance, only to see his face covered in dirt, his clothes were charred and tattered in many places, and his eyes and ears were stained with blood. They were the closest to the fire when it burst out, and they were more badly wounded than I was, and there was a striking burn mark on the left side of his face. Ban Huailing and the other Qingcheng disciples chased after them to the south, but they didn't expect this person to hide here.
He also saw me at this time, but he did not allow me to react at all, and as soon as his feet moved, he slashed at me with a large knife. He was not lightly injured now, or maybe the knife just now had consumed a lot of his strength, although the person rushed towards me, but his feet were shaking.
The knife was close, and I saw the way it came, and the shadow chasing sword slammed up. His broadsword slashed at him without any fancy, and the sword was against his broadsword, and there was a "ding" sound, and a spark collided between the swords and the swords. With the strength of my right arm now, how can he withstand it? I didn't feel any strength when his big knife pressed down, but he was shocked like a heavy blow, and the big knife slashed on the shadow chasing sword as if it was cut on a stubborn stone, and the person involuntarily rebounded backwards, without taking two steps back, and with a "bang", his back hit the trunk behind him fiercely, and the big knife in his hand couldn't hold it, and fell down.
He was a tough guy, and he didn't say a word when his back hit the trunk of a tree, but he gritted his teeth and looked at me coldly with both eyes.
It's easy for me to take his life now, right?
It's really a narrow road!
No matter what his injuries are now, being touched by me can only mean that he is unlucky, but in my heart, I have not forgotten the way they looked when they killed the Miro.
As soon as I thought of this, my heart welled up with anger, and I didn't think about it anymore, and danced the shadow chasing sword in front of my chest, and the shadow chasing sword was about to stab him in the chest. Who knows, as soon as my shadow chasing sword stabbed out, suddenly, a woman's exclamation came from the top of my head, saying, "Gu Shaoxia, move slowly!"
